I have had positive experiences with Baofeng for a long time. Reviews about this model mentioned that the radio is quite large – indeed, it's much bigger than the UV 5R, but it fits well in the hand. For me, a huge advantage is the ability to charge the battery via the USB-C port. The flashlight is nothing special, but it does its job.

The Baofeng is solidly built, the flashlight shines very brightly, there are many options in the menu, the clip holds firmly, and the screen looks good – I have nothing to complain about, everything is great, I can confidently recommend it. The only minor downside is the size – it's a bit bulky, but apart from that everything is fine.

Pluses are good build quality, water resistance, USB-C charging, an aesthetic display, and generally attractive appearance. However, the downside is the size – the device is quite unwieldy and a bit too thick.
